At a quarter to three a youth appears with the glad tidings that Mr. Dix has just arrived and will be right down. A few minutes later, Richard Dix himself appears on the scene looking handsome and virile albeit a trifle pale. His head size is ascertained and a neat sennet is quickly selected from the or- derly row. It is duly presented with the compliments of the manufac- turer. Picture!

WHY I LIKE NEW YORK Because at the Madison Avenue door of the Ritz the other day there appeared a British officer beautifully uniformed in blue with golden buttons and epaulets carrying under his arm a large sword with leather trappings, who marched gallantly to the street corner. At that moment the lîghts changed and the traffic came to a halt. Surprised, the B.O. looked around- then stepped majestically from the curb and, as he crossed the avenue, turned to the mystified policeman and said "Thenk you." Because on looking up from our tea-table-in-the-window we beheld th p -latest in science, namely a great mov- ing-van with the word "Truckologv" emblazoned across its front.-S. H. D. Because I had breakfast in a Fifth Avenue Child's across from a total stranger who nodded to me two days later on Broadway. Because an elegant clerk in Trip- Ier's had me completely cowed by his English accent until he said "The only difference is that these shoits have longer pernts on the collar." Because the most interesting person I ever met was a taxi-driver in cap and sweater who accompanied me, top- hatted and gardenia-ed, into a F orty- eighth Street bar on Easter Sunday, told me that his hair had turn d white during two hours at Verdun, and in- sisted on paying for alternate rounds. -HORVENDILE THE NEW YORKER ( " /' ! \.. fir /--.... / When the finest cost \ :Whu;te ten Smoke the Fi nest 7" "- , " "r , ".// ø' ...c..

So homes went nutless, for what busy housewife could bother to crack nuts for cakes and salads, or risk the mess of serving unshelled nuts? So I con- ceived the idea of shelling and salting the nuts for my customers, and to-day] have I 3 stores as a reward. .. -Charles S. Cash 1m rs . Mail Order Dept. 143-147 W.
